Around the NHL XII: Conference Finals Edition!

Is it just me or is Chicago's D overrated big time?

 

[slipknottin]

Chicago just looks slow

They seem exhausted to me. All those injuries they had this year probably have taken their toll.

 

[BB58]

No offense to LA, but this is not the same uptempo hawks team.

 

[aufheben]

Crawford what the **** was that?

Quick is still in the net, brooo

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Are they playing music specifically for the "Crawford" chant? Really?

Duncan Keith is a tad bit overrated IMO.

Chicago has been pretty mediocre these playoff. Testament to their talent that they got here. Minnesota not being that great helps too.

Hahaha, yeah! Isn't it a joke?

The Kings have weaknesses. San Jose, Anaheim and Chicago all exposed them. None of those teams had a goalie worth a **** to close them out.

LA has had two three-game losing streaks this postseason. Two.

The Kings are the Flyers in terms of up front. Identical forwards. The difference will be in the puck battles with LA's dmen.

Moore, MSL, MZA, Brass, Hagelin, Dorsett - those guys are smurfs compared to the Kings dmen. They'll have to use their quickness to their advantage.

The Hawks might be running out of gas. They've played a lot of hockey over the past two years. Hopefully the same thing happens to the Kings in the finals.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Duncan Keith is a tad bit overrated IMO.

It's pretty pathetic how if McDonagh's D and O were inverted he'd probably be Duncan Keith and would be considered perhaps the best D-man in the league, but because O gets overrated so much by D-men he's considered bottom of top 10.

We would have no shot. The mighty western conference would expose us for the bums that we are.

the nhl might get the finals that i'm sure they wanted two years ago.

 

[slipknottin]

and two kings standing in front again. lol

 

[qwertyaas]

Crazy. Kings look unstoppable.

**** the NHL. *WE* might get the finals we wanted two years ago.

 

[aufheben]

lol Rozy

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

This is just pathetic defense on Chicago's part, sheesh.

 

[Holocene]

No doubt the 2014 Rangers actually have the horses to keep up with the Kings as opposed to 2012 Devils.

People calm down.. the kings down have the king

To be fair, Kovalchuk, Parise and Elias aren't exactly chopped liver. Our defense is significantly better than what they had though.

Yeah, those horses missed the playoffs just the year before.
